Spotify Connect on your RoonBridged Pi - the quick 'n easy way

Audio Gear Talk Raspberry Pi

So grateful for all the instructions, but I can’t get it to work sadly… Im on an Allo USBbridge. Any help much appreciated
Ive used the second version of text for the .service file. I may have messed something up and should maybe delete everything and start over, but Im not sure how to do that either :slight_smile:
Heres the result of a status query. (hw:1 based on aplay)

Thanks Tony, Raspotify works like a charm.

Hi Tony,

Just got around to giving RaSpotify a whirl – works like a charm. As it’s basically the same solution (librespot), but fully packaged and easy to install, I’ll close this thread and open a new one.

Thanks for mentioning! :thumbsup:
